Hello all,
This is a first of many. First post, first building I have built, first time being a GC etc (electrical, gas, water, etc). So I started envisioning this workshop about 10 years ago and have a laundry list of wants and needs. Given location and time in my life I am the proud recipient of a workshop that I had envisioned so many years ago. I am a vehicle guy and this will primarily used for that purpose.
A little about the building. It is post frame construction, 12 foot eves. 10 foot garage doors, steel "scissor" trusses. At the center of the building interior hight is about 18'. (See pics). That should give me enough room for a lift. Because of the proximity to the house the garage had to match the house lines etc. so it has the same roof pitch, eve overhangs, siding type and color etc.
I had a contractor do the foundation, and another contractor erect the building and roof. I have done everything else to date. Still have a lot to do yet but progress is happening.
Below are some time lapse videos and some stills of the building.
Electrical is in progress and the garage doors will arrive in a few weeks.
More To Come...................
I have gained a lot of knowledge from this forum. Glad this is around.
Here is the link for the pictures of the workshop build.
